The Most Impactful Ways to Advance Your Career
We all want to move forward in life (Maybe that’s an over-generalization, but I hope you do!). And it’d be great if that could happen quickly. I recently learned three impactful ways to advance your career that I will share with you. Before I do that though, I need to make sure you know what it is you want. There’s no way to succeed unless you know what it is you’re supposed to be succeeding at. Make sure you are specific on your career goals BEFORE learning how to advance your career–if you’re really clueless, use these tips to advance yourself as a human and maybe your goals will come…
Top 5 Routine Habits of Highly Successful People
During one of the podcasts I’ve been listening to, the speaker mentioned five routine habits wealthy people do versus poor people. She said that Entrepreneur magazine ran a survey using people that made over $150k with over a million in assets against people that made less than $30k with less than $5,000 in assets. Based on their survey, Entrepreneur was able to see where the values of wealthy people lies and how it’s in direct contrast to poorer people. Well that had me thinking about my own routine. Based off of these finding there are five things that I MUST add to my daily routine habits in order to be…
Warning: Your Side Hustle is Getting the Shaft
I’ve said for a looong time that I want to be a writer. However, if you looked at my old routine, it didn’t look like I took my side hustle dreams seriously. I wrote right before critiques, and I sent manuscripts periodically through the year. Other times, my nights were filled with Netflix or hanging out with my boyfriend. For over a year, my writing could be viewed as a HOBBY! Not what I said I wanted, which is to make this a full-time career as a writer. Sometimes we have to swallow the truth in order to move closer to our dreams. If you’re a dreamer with a side-hustle…
How to Have Career Patience in Your Twenties
They say patience is a virtue. I say it’s a virtue I haven’t been blessed with. Especially when it comes to career patience–As I’m sure you can tell in the last 3 months worth of posts. I want so desperately to make things happen, that I will try to force it, which is NOT a good plan. And I don’t think I’m the only one lacking patience. We live in a world with Google, instant buy, quick-turnaround shipping, real-time tech, and instant satisfaction. Why should we have to wait for things to happen, when there are ways to make it happen faster? This may be what’s preventing many of us…
It’s Not “What Makes You Happy”, It’s Choosing Your Life
Listening to podcast, I started thinking more about a common question we ask young people. When we’re graduating high school, people start asking “What are you going to do now?”. This is normally followed by the advice of “do what makes you happy”. This advice is why I studied fashion design in college. Like a WHOLE DEGREE in fashion design all because drawing clothes and coming up with fashion pieces made me happy. I assumed that this would be my life after graduation: I’d sit with a sketchbook, come up with awesome fashion pieces that people would love, then other people that were not me would make them. Not once…
How to Act on the Signs from the Universe
My position has been eliminated again! I’m not sure how many signs from the universe I need before I realize I need to finally GO for my dreams. If you’ve ever read any of my posts, you know that I want to be a full-time writer. And after reading so many books and listening to podcasts, I’ve decided to OFFICIALLY go for it! Like they say, you have to do it scared. Are there any signs from the universe you’ve been missing? Or worse, IGNORING? Today, we’re going to set out to change that. But we can’t go for our dreams if we don’t have a plan. Below is how…
Penny Pincher’s Guide to the Best Drugstore Hair Products
I love getting my hair done and feeling how soft and luscious the salon products feel. However, I don’t love when they tell me how much all those products cost to bring them home with me. Instead of using up all these products (I still have them to use once a week), I pick up drugstore hair products to use between my salon products. This way I can save some money AND still have the beautiful hair I want. If you’ve found yourself in my shoes, wanting beautiful hair but not looking to spend a fortune, I have found some of the best drugstore hair products to swap out. These…
Is the Nest Thermostat Worth it?
We recently purchased a Nest thermostat for our home, because we had Christmas money to burn and our current thermostat was SUPER out-dated– I’m not even sure that we were setting our temps correctly, it was that level of old. I know that there are other brands of eco-friendly, high-tech thermostats but this is the one that I have experience with so I knew that it’d be a safe purchase. My post contains affiliate links. Clicking on one may result in a commission for me at no cost to you! There are 3 things that we like about our Nest thermostat. If you’re on the fence on whether you should…
How to Create an Effective At Home Workout Plan
Through my insurance, I have a gym membership to over 7 gyms in my general vicinity. So I have the capability to workout at a gym whenever I want to. The problem is I don’t want to get in my car and drive across town to just workout. I’d MUCH rather do an at home workout and save myself the trouble. Creating an at home workout plan has been my saving grace to staying active and having a fitness plan. If you’re like me, and don’t like to go to the gym to workout, or find yourself dragging your feet/coming up with excuses in order to AVOID working out, then you may need…
The Low Maintenance Girl’s Guide to Makeup Brushes
I need a guide to makeup brushes, like I need a car manual. Most of my friends are OBSESSED with buying and putting on makeup, where I’m over here just trying to look presentable during the day. Seeing Instagram posts filled with makeup palettes and gobs of brushes confuses me, mostly because I don’t know how you’d find time to wear all of these different kinds of makeup– I also thought MOTD had something to do with moms for the longest time LOL! 😀 Luckily, my makeup friends have been very helpful in making sure I have enough makeup to look decent. They were even kind enough to get me…
